Cookie decorating with the boys . . .

Friday, April 10, 2009

Last week as I was debating cookie ideas, my son said, "can we make some just to have around the house?" He never asks for cookies (I think he's eaten too many of my mistakes), so I jumped at the chance to make some together.

We decided to try out some mini Easter cutters and just do simple outlines and sparkling sugar. I just love seeing that BOY'S ARM and digital watch cutting cookies! And boy, did we have cookies!!!Hubby decided to join us for decorating. They actually had fun! (I was a little worried. Never fear, they are getting their "man time" in now watching Star Wars Clone Wars.)

Total concentration....notice the arched eyebrows! :)

I love the face on this little guy!

How about these? I can't decide which is my favorite....the bunny with the glasses or the "surprised" one.

They look adorable together decorating cookies. My little guy is all to grown up to want to bake cookies with me. He use to be my little helper when he was 5, but now he's 15. Whew, where does time go? Enjoy your little man, those are precious time and great moments.The cookies are really cute and I love the bunnies, but the eggs are super cute.

I've purchased sanding sugar from Sugar Craft before, although I think their website is a little hard to navigate. (Hope that link works.) Also, I get it at Make-a-Cake in Houston...the same place where I got the pens. It looks like Sugar Craft sells the pens, too.

I know what you mean...this had to be a "special" project for family cookie decorating. The kitchen is normally closed to "visitors" when I'm making them. ;)

Multi-tasking Mommy...the dough is a thick dough; don't be afraid to work with it until it is cohesive. Using a floured surface and rolling pin helps; sometimes I have to really coat the dough in flour. Cutting the cookies thick should keep them from falling apart. Hope that helps. :)
